In the question properties I have set it to Reset to initial state. However, when I retake the quiz, the previous answer remains. What am I missing? Or, do fill in the blank questions not reset?
Data Entry objects whether part of a quizzing template or manually added need a variable to store the entered value(s).
Ex: Set [variableName] equal to the typed value when the control loses focus.
Variables are not objects so "Reset to initial state" will not work. The value that is currently assigned to a variable is still there.
That said, a "Retry Quiz" button on the Results slide *should* reset all quiz slides tied to that Results slide. If you have a custom "Retake quiz" button you'll need to manually reset the variables associated with the Data Entry object.
Without testing, my first thought would be to add a trigger to the "Retake Quiz" button:
Set [variableName] equal to *blank* when the user clicks "Retake Quiz" button. Add as many triggers for each variable you need to reset back to its default value of blank/null/empty.
You are correct Kevin. I deleted the custom "retry Quiz" button and used the default button and everything worked correctly. Lesson learned...I didn't need the custom "retake quiz" button. However, I do think your solution of resetting the variables will work.

Is there an answer to this by any chance?

Hope I interpreted your question correctly.
